    Confused about 15 watt claim on VV grand

    It's definitely the one for whats in mine, all the numbers matched up. I dont mean to stir the pot or call anyone out on anything - I've been happy with my VVG the past month or so I've had it. No complaints here. The printed part # on these chips are very small, I had to use my nerdy magnifier...

    Confused about 15 watt claim on VV grand

    Hey all, I decided to do a bit of careful cleaning around the electronics in my VVG (noticed juice was leaking out of bottom of delrin cover) and out of curiosity searched up the part # on the voltage regulator. According to the spec sheet it has a max adjustable voltage output of 5.5vdc and 2...

    Battery indicator question

    Its good to have priorities in line! Ive been wanting to do the same thing with my vv grand! I have a mini voltage meter but always forget to use it, then again it should come with low battery warning already!

    Battery indicator question

    Np. Yea, it is pretty oversized for such a simple circuit. They may even have the schematics posted on there. I got the kit to mess around with and was able to get the pot set to make it turn on at below 3.6. May be best for small size to replace that pot with a resistor when you figure out the...

    Battery indicator question

    Check out the "uh oh" battery indicator light kit on sparkfun. It works by turning on a big red led when the voltage drops below a value set by a trimpot.? Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

    Resistance-No Resistance wire welder

    Dayum! I've heard that those transformers in CRT's could literally throw you across the room from a good blast.

    Resistance-No Resistance wire welder

    This is awesome! I want one! Speaking of the dangers of disposable camera guts.. In my younger, inquisitive, wonder how this works stage (when I was taking everything apart and never being able to put em back together) I took apart a disposable camera and got a REALLY NICE shock (twice! dont...

    Laziest/Greatest E-pipe Mod Ever - Experienced Modders' Ideas Needed

    I would love to be able to get me an e-pipe, buttt unfortunately I've been spoiled by vv and bottom feeding. If someone would only design a bottom-fed vv epipe.. id totally be a sir and grow a mustache and wear a top hat while sitting in my lazy boy by the fire reading some fine literature.

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    There was a vendor selling these at vapefest ny (forgot who it was tho). They were $5 a pop, didn't get any seeing as I sold off all my rebuildables due to not having patience or time for it. Am curious of how well they vape and whether or not its harmful to breathe in burning ceramic stuffs.

    VV REO Grand III

    Seems like something that would restrict airflow a bunch, resulting in drawing even more juice straight from the bottle. I've actually got to start using the reducer tube as I'm only able to fill up my bottle halfway, otherwise it autofeeds itself and floods the well. I use cartomizers btw if...

    VV REO Grand III

    Looks like clear or silver finish. I've got a newer black / silver door grand that looks almost identical. The silver has a sort of brushed finish which is really nice. Ive been rockin' the black/copper vein vv grand I got recently. Had it about a month already and its f'awesome so far. My...

    VV REO Grand III

    Awesome, thanks for the responses. I usually go through 3ml a day give or take with the kick set at 8.5-9 watts so I should be ok for now with two pairs 18350. Too bad there's no low battery indication, seeing as it has such a wide input voltage range. Gonna have to craft a mini tester to keep...

    Variable Wattage in the works?

    I like the new designs, looks like it adds grip to the device. When I had the provari my only complaints were the weight and how easy it is to drop or fall out of pockets (I'm always crawling around in tight spaces at work, climbing ladders going into attics and all that fun stuff). The only...

    Variable Wattage in the works?

    Provari is sorta like the iphone of the e-cigarette industry. They were the first popular and high end product of its kind and therefore have a lot of fans. New ones will sell no matter what, even if its just cosmetic changes. Why fix what ain't broke? Plus I don't think that many people...

    Smoothest vape for a non cigarette smoker?

    What kinds of responses did you expect? Maybe you should have worded it different, like "looking for a smooth vape for a casual smoker". Reminds me of the mall kiosk guy who asked me if I smoke and I replied "no, but I'm looking to start!" The look on his face was priceless, like he was having...

    How to build a 3.7v wood mod.

    Wow, this is pretty freakin' awesome! I've looked around at home depot for nice wood and could only find big 8ft plywood type fancy stuff, really expensive. Guess I didn't look hard enough or ask for the right stuff. Will have to try this soon when I finally get the time/money. Too many life...

    DNA Warning light

    Have you tried a new potentiometer? If you have a meter, check the resistance between the left pin and the center as well as the right pin and the center. Both resistances should roughly add up to the total resistance of the pot. I've had the same thing happen a few times when testing on a...
